Out-of-State Owner Selling in The Bronx, NY? Tony Closes Remotely
Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Bronx County? Tony makes a cash offer over the phone and closes the entire New York transaction remotely. You sign with a notary in your home state and never set foot in The Bronx.
Owning a property thousands of miles away wears on you. Property taxes you can't easily pay. Code letters from a town you don't visit. Tenants or family members or strangers sending updates that don't add up. The flight back to fix one thing turns into three flights. Tony has closed dozens of remote sales for owners living out of state. You don't fly back. Tony handles everything from this end.
Distance is the silent killer of inherited and absentee properties in Bronx County. The longer you own a property you can't easily check on, the worse it gets — taxes pile up, maintenance gets deferred, tenants test the limits. Tony stops the bleed with a cash close that doesn't require you to travel.
✓Cash offer over the phone — no travel to NJ or NY required
✓Sign remotely with a notary in your home state
✓Wire transfer to your home-state bank account at closing
✓Power of attorney accepted
✓Back taxes and municipal liens paid at closing
✓7-14 day close from anywhere in the country

Bronx County Market Context
Bronx County is a mix of detached homes (Riverdale, Throggs Neck, Country Club) and dense multi-family (Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Soundview). Tony buys both.
Bronx NYC Class 1 and Class 2 rates apply; multi-family above 3 units triggers Class 2 with higher effective rates.

Bronx County remote notarization is fully recognized as of 2022 (NJ) and 2022 (NY). Out-of-state sellers can sign closing documents with a notary in their home state, video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally. Tony's title company has handled this for sellers in 20+ states.
Bronx Neighborhoods Tony Buys In
The Bronx has detached houses in north and east neighborhoods, plus multi-families everywhere. Tony buys row houses, two-families, and three-families anywhere from Riverdale down to Mott Haven. The south and west Bronx are five- and six-story pre-war walk-ups and Art Deco elevator buildings along the Grand Concourse, almost all rent-stabilized; the northeast — Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Morris Park, Throggs Neck, Pelham Bay — is detached and semi-detached 1920s–50s frame and brick two- and three-families; Riverdale is Tudors and co-ops; Co-op City is a 15,000-unit Mitchell-Lama.

Selling a House in The Bronx: What Tony Already Knows
Bronx sellers who call Tony fall into two groups. Homeowners in the northeast Bronx — often Caribbean, Italian, and Albanian families — are settling a parent's estate on a two-family with a basement apartment the City never saw and a tenant who stopped paying. Small landlords in the south and west Bronx are done fighting a rent-stabilized walk-up with HPD violations, a boiler on its last legs, and rents frozen since the 2019 rent law. Both have found that a listing means inspections, bank appraisals, and buyers who vanish. Tony buys occupied, as-is, violations included, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.

What a The Bronx closing actually involves
Bronx sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony nets both. Multi-family buildings with six or more units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized, and tenants transfer with their leases and DHCR registrations intact. Bronx County Surrogate's Court on the Grand Concourse issues the letters an executor needs; Tony signs a contract as soon as they issue. Co-op City and other Mitchell-Lama buildings have resale restrictions Tony will explain honestly on the phone.
How a Cash Offer on a The Bronx House Is Actually Built
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
Example only — a $400,000-after-repair house that needs $45,000 of work. Your numbers will differ; Tony gives you his exact figure on the phone.

Tony's number, in full, on your date
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Questions From The Bronx Sellers
Can I sell my The Bronx property without flying back to NJ or NY?
Yes. Remote notarization is fully recognized in NJ and NY. You sign with a notary in your home state, the documents are video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally.
How does the cash from selling my The Bronx property reach me out of state?
Wire transfer to your home-state bank account on the closing date. Same day the deed records, the funds hit.
What if I haven't seen my The Bronx property in years?
That's most of Tony's out-of-state purchases. Tony's offer is based on public records, recent The Bronx comps, and your description. Whatever condition the property is in, the offer accounts for it.
Can my power of attorney sign for me?
Yes. POA documents are accepted at closing. Many out-of-state The Bronx sellers have a family member or attorney sign as POA for convenience.
What about back property taxes accumulated while I was away?
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer arrears, or any other municipal liens.
Does Tony buy in every Bronx neighborhood?
Yes — from Riverdale and Wakefield down to Mott Haven and Hunts Point. Detached two-families in Williamsbridge and Throggs Neck, brick rows in Morris Park, walk-ups in Tremont and Morrisania, frames in Soundview, and co-ops and condos anywhere. One call with the address gets you a number.
Will Tony buy my rent-stabilized walk-up in the Bronx with tenants and HPD violations?
Yes. Tony buys occupied rent-stabilized buildings on their real rent roll, with every tenant staying and every HPD, DOB, and ECB violation transferring to him at closing. You don't need vacancies, buyouts, or repairs. He'll want the DHCR registration and current rents so his number reflects the building as it actually operates.
My Bronx two-family has an illegal basement apartment with a tenant. Is that a problem?
No. Basement and attic apartments without a certificate of occupancy are everywhere in Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Soundview, and Throggs Neck, and Tony buys them with the tenant in place. A DOB vacate order, if there is one, transfers with the house. Don't rip out the kitchen before you call.
Can Tony buy my Co-op City apartment?
Usually not as the buyer himself. Co-op City is a Mitchell-Lama cooperative with income limits and a resale process that goes through Riverbay, which keeps investors out. Tony will tell you that straight on the phone. For houses, condos, and market-rate co-ops anywhere else in the Bronx, he's the buyer.
